We are not quite there yet, I know, but I promise … spring is just around the corner!
It is usually a time of great optimism. Many peoples’ thoughts turn to things like a ‘fresh start’, a ‘new season’, and yes, ’spring-cleaning!’
Spring-cleaning has its origins in ancient history. Back then with no labour saving devices and no electricity, spring marked the season when the weather allowed the complete cleaning of the cave or house.
Since then the tradition has been maintained but now there is a new angle.
It is called coaching and it is in effect,’spring-cleaning’ for your life.
Coaching is one of the most effective ways of staying ‘green and growing’ instead if becoming ‘ripe and rotten’. It is simply a way of looking at where you are now, where we you want to be in the future,and how you are going to get there.
I am a fully qualified Personal and Executive Coach and help my clients achieve what they want in a series of one-hour meetings or telephone calls at weekly intervals.
A few people are able to ’stay green and growing’ by themselves but the vast majority find that having an outsider like me to keep them on course is a vital ingredient.
I am not concerned with how they arrived at where they are right now. The only place any of us can begin to change our lives is here and now. So, we focus totally on the future and the actions that will lead to the positive results that they desire.
A fresh look at our homes in the spring often reveals the need for declutter and a fresh ‘lick of paint’.
In the same way a fresh look at our lives can reveal that we are carrying a load of excess baggage that we need to offload . This can be in the form of worry, guilt, fears and false beliefs or expectations.
I am a great believer in the power of a positive mental attitude and am concerned that only a few people ever achieve their full potential.
In coaching,clients are shown how they can easily let go of all this baggage to create room in their lives for new and exciting challenges. Many clients are amazed at the positive impact that even a small change or shift in attitude can produce. This really is ’spring-cleaning’ of the mind.
In the same way that the onset of spring is often the catalyst that triggers a burst of domestic action, I can be the catalyst that allows amazing and positive changes to happen.
Lastly, one question. Why wait until spring to begin the process of having the life you want?
Great sentiments - and now the nights are drawing back out, we can all start to look forward to Spring.
very sound and true advice. keep up the good work Sam!
